African safari holidays 2014: Active Kenya safari?

People tend to think sitting on a game drive vehicle and driving around is doing nothing and very inactive. This is not completely true. While sitting on the vehicle one is exposed to the elements and the rough terrain the vehicle is driving on and this can be pretty exhausting. But for those who want to do more on African safari, there are more active alternatives.

For example Kenya offers the most magnificent horseback safaris in the Masai Mara, explorations of the northern territories on foot and camel, climbing Mount Kenya, fishing, hiking and boat rides. And if this is not active enough the beach extensions offer plenty of waterborne activities like diving, snorkeling, sailing and so on. And for the more cultural interested people there are volunteer projects that can be joint to work with schools, communities and wildlife conservation. There is something for each interest in this amazing safari country Kenya.

Happy active safari travel.
